Indeed, the big selling point on this 1969 Chevrolet Corvette for sale on Hemmings.com is its incredible documentation, everything from the original sales order down to registrations and receipts for various work done on the car over the years. But it also features the 435hp tri-power 427-cu.in. big-block and four-speed and remains in unrestored condition. From the seller’s description:

We have all documentation to this car dating back to the original owner! Thousands of receipts, all kept in a secure binder. Its the documentation that makes this car a value to you and a promise to keep its value in the future. Without the proper documentation, these cars will be worth a lot less in the future. Documentation, documentation, documentation.

We have contacted the previous owners and have reviewed the receipts. The entire engine was rebuilt less than 9K miles ago. This car runs absolutely perfect!! Many thousands of dollars put into this car. Much of the work at County Corvette, one of the Nations leading corvette restoration shops.

The latest owner of this beauty was meticulous. Humidity controlled environment, NCRS judged and inspected, this car needs nothing.

What a perfect time capsule. Of course it’s also something of an urban legend.

I had an 67 Olds 442 and a 69 Firebird 400 when I was in high school/college in the early 70s, and I knew a lot of other muscle car guys. We used to talk about these 427 Corvettes (among other rare beasts), and we all knew they existed, but where exactly and owned by whom precisely was a little vague.

We knew for sure about some actual monster cars, but most of them were aftermarket hot rods to a large extent (65 GTOs with 455s in them, 47 Desoto coupe with 413s, etc.). The factory earth shakers seemed a lot more elusive. Time and place I guess.

But just look at that shade of blue. To me that blue, red and turquoise were just the perfect muscle colors. It used to seem that 4 out of 5 Chevelles were that shade of blue.

My Father had this (almost) exact same car, but a ’68. LeMans blue, 427 with the 3 carb set up. No side pipes or lugage rack, but he had a custom paint job & mags on it. A (beautiful) monster of a car…

’68 & ’69 were the two best years for the C3, in terms of both looks & performance, hands down.
